Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until smooth; set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets to the same pan and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and just tender.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the broccoli, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Return the beef to the pan along with the soy sauce mixture and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Stir continuously and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli evenly.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
